@drleiferman- Hello! My answer is absolutely, yes to both. It took quite a while for my neurological symptoms to disappear after I had the vaccine so I'm not surprised that you have some residual things going on after having the real thing. Boy, you had the grand slam with both of these, one right after the other. And after the year that we've had, and then some, I think we all have some brain fog to get over. But having brain fog after COVID- 19 is not uncommon.

I'd like to invite @hopeful33250 to join in this conversation as she has had Shingles too.

Other than these two things how do you feel? Will you be getting the vaccinations?

I haven't gotten the vaccine yet, but will be as soon as I can. I have had numb/tingly lips ever since having shingles. I also have slight blurry vision. My nurse practitioner got me on paroxetine which has not helped fight brain fog and just sort of robbed me of joy in my opinion. A month or two ago I was so brain fogged that I didn't even trust myself to make good decisions, but I do now.

Hi Merry. How long after the vaccine did you realize there were some neurological side effects? My second shot was the beginning of September, and for about the past two months I’ve been have periodic eye flashes/ocular migraines, as well as just feeling foggy and spacey. It sort of feels like my eyes are fatigued a lot.
It has also ushered in some anxiety, which doesn’t help matters. I do have an mri scheduled (for tomorrow actually) to be sure there’s nothing serious going on.
But there wasn’t anything sudden after the vaccine, which hasn’t really made me think it’s a strong possibility

Hi Merry! I’ve been so anxious to get the Covid-19 vaccine and finally did Feb 16. As i waited the 15 mins I noticed I started getting tingling in my lips. I let the nurses know there and they checked me. Nothing else was wrong and my oxygen was at 100 and no swelling of anything or any rash etc. I left and easily the tingling then left as well. It has come back around I want to say 5 times when ive been in anxious situations. This monday Feb 28 was the first time the tingling came back after being gone for a while and it was tingling when I wasnt in an anxious situation. I told myself it happened during the 15 after my shot because my anxiety. I have a childhood growing up being scared of shots.. after 18 i wouldn’t agree to flu shots.. so this was my first since a few years. Due to it coming back with me not having anxiety it than triggered more anxiety and I now feel ive been feeling them tingle since that monday. I saw you said covid and or vaccine can cause neurological symptoms? I got covid back in January 20th. I also suffer from chronic migraines and menstrual migraines.. weirdly i got none when I had covid. Can this tingling be a neurological symptom from having covid and the vaccine? Or simply just my anxiety since it comes and goes. I have an appointment today for it and chest pain that came on 4 days after the vaccine as well but it comes and goes. I know anxiety can trigger both those symptoms but I also want to make sure my health is okay for my second vaccine in march. Im not allergic to anything so far as I know and i know ive felt tingling feeling when I get anxiety and even before my migraine attacks. Im just not use to it on my lips and it worries me. I have naturally big sized lips so when they tingle its hard for it not to call my attention and worry. They got chapped during covid and cut on my top lip and recently keep getting chapped again but mainly the bottom. I just want some sort of opinions.
